jtion.

My invention relates to bottles, and in particular to the non-refillable type,having for its object means whereby refilling of the bottle willbe prevented, which will be f'simple and i p ring 12, which is molded into the bottle-neckeconomical construction.

I The accompanymgsdrawings illustrate an embodlment of the mvention wherein the several elements constituting the invention t? shown as molded or blown intothe bottleneck. e

Figure 1 is a central: sectional view through the bottle-neck. Fig. 2 is cross-section on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig, 4 is a cross-section on line 4 4, Fig. 1. Fig. 51s a cross-section on line 5 5, Fig. 1-.

1 designates the bottle-neck, formed at its upper portion with the ordinary bead 2.

3 and 4 are fixed projections, which may be either inclined orhorizontal, extending in-' wardly in opposing directions and arranged above one another with an intervening space.

By forming these projections segmental, as'

shown, the chords of the arcs described provide spaces '5 6, respectively, for thepassage of the fluid. At a distance below projection 4 is located a shield 7 of somewhat conoidal form, the base of which is open and molded into the bottle-neck similar to projections 3,

and 4. This shield is open .at its lower porplace the valve mechanism, shortly to be .re-' Further, by reason of the inclined ferred to. face of the shield, should it be possible to pass:

s riei remain. (No model.)

the projections with an instrument or tool it will be deflected by the shield, and access to opening 10 will be practically impossible, owing to said opening being located beneath Y the point of the greatest diameter of the segment ad acent its point of securement in the bottle-neck. I

The valve mechanism, as shown, embraces two independentlyoperating valves, either one of which may be dispensed with, it not being essential that both be employed.

The hinge or flap valve 11 seats upon a below shield 7, being hinged to the valve-seat,

as at 13. 7

Located below the flap valve is the ballvalve. mechanism, which consists, essentially,

of a ring 14, formed with a concavity or d epression 15 on its upper face to provide a valve-seat and suitably rounded on its opposing face as at 16, to accelerate exhaust of the .fluid. 17 designates the ball-valve formed with a stem 18, suitably Weighted at its lower portion, as at 1-9, the stem extending through the aperture of ring 14. v In order to prevent the weight 19 from closing theaperture of the ring when ball 17 is unseated to permit decanting of the bottle contents, stem 18 is provided with. a cross-bar 20, which extends outwardly from the opposing 'sides thereof and is positioned above Weight 19, so as to prevent the latter contacting with the ring.

The functions of the projections 3 and 4 beingto prevent the introduction of any mechanigial means to oppose the closing of the valve 'beneath, it is obvious that the upper one 3 may he dispensed with, though I prefer The invention asillustrated, and described is susceptible of variations and. alterations,

and therefore the right is reserved to alter "and vary the device. without departing from the spirit and. scope thereof-as, for instance,-

instead of havingthe partitions, shield, andvalve molded into the neck of the bottle when the latter is blown these several devices may be attached to a tube or skeleton support in their relative positions to each other and such support subsequently cemented into the neck of the bottle.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters. Patent, is* v 1. A bottle of the type setforth, consisting .open conoidal shield located in its neck, oppo-' sitely-extending, means forming a guard arranged in the neck above the upper end of the shield and a controllingvalve below said shield, substantially as described.

A bottle of the type set forth comprising a projection crosswise of the-interior of the neck of said bottle, an open conoidal shield having its upper end located adjacent the point of securement of such projection, and a valvemechanism below such conoidal shield.

{L Ina-bottle of the type set forth, 'a plurality of projections formed on opposite sides of, the neck thereof, and being arranged one above the other, an open conoid'al shield having its upper end adjacent the base of the lower of said projections, and valve mechanisms mounted below the said' shield, substantially as described.

5. In a bottle of the character described, a

an upwardly-opening valve mounted above the same, said neck having seats therein for the said valves, an open conoidal shield secured in the neck above the last-named valve, and projections extending oppositely from the sides of the bottle-neck, the lower of said projections being secured adjacent the upper end shielded, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two Witnesses.
